The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture 130m SW of the River Loobagh that marks the townland boundary with Mountcoote, on the demesne lands of Riversfield House, located 370m to E. Not depicted on OSi historic 6-inch maps. Identified as a possible earthwork on oblique aerial photograph (ASIAP) taken 05/01/2003. Natural water-filled hollow or pond visible in area marked on aerial images with linear earthworks radiating outwards from this pond like feature. Doubtful antiquity, linear earthworks may be a mixture of paleochannels and drainage channels associated with landscaping of the demesne lands of Riversfield House.
See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
